    The whale has been harpooned.
    He has a 6 pack in his abs but not in his chin.
    Larry merchant s finest. Lol

    And then Lampley just random stuff like:
    Michael Jordan, sitting ringside with Bluetooth technology visible in his right ear .
    And... Miguel and Evangelista, sitting together, nothing but a gesture of man love! (Lol, he perhaps testing the fighters manhood??)

    And then big George: this man is gonna end up in a pine box!
    The reason I (big George) quit commentating was because it became a job, I didn't want a job, that's why I boxed!

    That's all I got for the 3 stooges lol.

    '' He's down. He's down, for the second time in his career ''


    Colonel Bob Sheridan on Tyson vs Holyfrilled.

    '' He's down, for the first time in his career. And the title could be slipping away ''

    that english guy Ian Darke when JBD smacked Tyson for 6.

    Perhaps not exactly verbatim, but….

    “Sonny wobbled” (x 2). “Cassius has him hurt”

    “Hold the phone folks, now Cassius may be a bit hurt”

    It annoys me too. I won’t watch a fight with them in it, the only fighter I’ve watched who was a southpaw was Khaosai Galaxy when I brought the hype.

    "...30 seconds left in the round while Whitaker goes in for the kill! Not a knockout kind of a kill, but a scorecard clinching kind of a kill!..."

    Awhile back Title released a string of retro posters.
    Not sure if its still available but the Whitaker vs McGirt poster is a really good grey and blue print.
